Cloud's POV

I was on the couch, watching TV. I had to pick my younger brother, Sora, up in about two hours when his school finished. There was just some lame commercial on when it suddenly changed to the news, with a red bar running on the bottom of the screen flashing "WARNING". The news anchor started talking about a zombie apocalypse.

"What the heck?" I said. It sounded like one of those games Sora sometimes played.

But sure enough, as I continued watching the news, they had footage of zombies and people running around screaming. Crap….that means Sora would be in danger! I grabbed my cell phone and text Sora, "Go hide in a closet. Zombie apocalypse, no joke. I'll be there soon." I then got up, grabbed First Tsurugi, some other swords, a first aid kit, and a handgun I had for Sora and drove off to his school. Thank God Traverse Town is easy to navigate.

Sora's POV

I groaned as I laid my head down on my desk. Algebra 2 was just too boring to actually pay attention too! The lesson finished and everyone started to do their homework. I sighed as I pulled my book out of my backpack. Out of nowhere, my teacher shrieked and ran to turn on the classroom TV. The news flashed onto the screen with a warning of a zombie apocalypse.

"What?" I thought as I saw my classmates start to scream and run out of the classroom. "What do I do?!"

Before I could freak out too much I received a text from my older brother Cloud saying he's coming and to hide in the closet. I dashed out of the room, into a nearby janitor's closet and locked the door.

Cloud's POV

I had driven up to the front of Sora's school and saw kids and teachers running out. I hoped Sora had gotten my text and hid. I text him again asking his where he was hiding and thankfully got a response back that he was hiding in the janitor's closet on the second floor. I got out of the car, grabbed two of the smaller blades of First Tsurugi, along with the handgun, then went into the school.

It didn't seem like there were many zombies or bodies in here…but better safe than sorry. Plus I did see a few zombies (which I killed) and dead students or teachers with chunks of flesh missing, dead on the ground.

"Ew…" I said. I was now on the second story so I yelled for Sora. "Sora! Where are you?"

"Cloud? Is that you?" came the distant voice of Sora.

"Yes it's me. Now get out here and let's move!" I called back as I made my way towards his voice.

Sora's POV

I crouched down in the far left corner of the closet. Cloud had texted me earlier asking where I was hiding. I replied that I was in the janitor's closet on the second floor. All I could do now was wait patiently for Cloud to arrive. Outside I could hear scream of students and the groans of…zombies? I prayed that they wouldn't find me in here.

About 10 minutes had passed and I could hear a voice down the hallway.

"Sora! Where are you?" That sounded like Cloud!

"Cloud? Is that you?" I replied, hoping it would be him.

"Yes it's me. Now get out here and let's move!" As I heard that I stood up quickly and opened the door. I stepped out into the hallway and could see Cloud running towards me.

"Cloud! Thank goodness you're here!" I said.

"Yeah yeah yeah. Now let's go okay? And take this gun, you may need it," he sounded a little irritated.

"Are you okay, Cloud?" I grabbed the gun and we ran out of the school toward Cloud's car.

"Yes and no. Zombie apocalypse. Bad. But I do have First Tsurugi, the car, and first aid. Good." Cloud said as he held up two of the smaller blades. "Get in the car and let's go."

I climbed into the passenger seat, barely buckling my seatbelt before Cloud was zooming down the road.

Leon's POV

It seemed like a boring day. Riku and I were just watching TV, we didn't have work today. Only mildly decent thing on was a rerun of LOST. Right at the suspenseful part of the rerun, the news flashed on the screen.

"Really? What could be so important?" Riku complained.

The news anchor frantically spoke of a zombie apocalypse. "Well, apparently that is what is so important," I retorted. I grabbed my gunblade and Riku grabbed his sniper rifle and pistol. I then also grabbed some of the other guns we'd collected over the years, ammo, and some first aid. Just as I grabbed my keys and we were about to go to the car, zombies burst in.

I backed up a bit, and started alternately slashing and shooting at zombies. Riku cocked his pistol after backing up and started to shoot as well. Soon enough, we were able to get out of the apartment and get to my car. We had both received a few cuts, but nothing too bad. We drove off into the deeper part of Traverse Town.

Riku's POV
"So where are we going anyways Leon?" I asked my brother. We were in his car, just driving deeper into town.

"Subway Station, thinking we can get out of here through it. By the way, your laptop and charger are still in here too so we'll have computer access," Leon responded.

"Okay. And really? I thought I left them at Zexion's place."

"No, it's in the backseat. When I picked you up then you threw it back there and forgot about it."

I shrugged and turned the radio on. This was going to be a long drive. It was only an hour, but we'd probably be shooting zombies on the way there. I could see Leon constantly checking the mirrors for zombies and actual humans.
